This is valid for most of the tech industry. "Move across the world to sit on *this* computer instead of the one right in front of you right now"

If only they kept their promise...

Now I have to wait six hours for the current model to finish training. I can't even play a game because it's going to hog the GPU. Maybe I should get a head start on the next week's project... which will be... something. I did not think this through.

At the end of every week I'll post a detailed article on my patreon. I kind of regret starting this one, because there is too much idle time training models and waiting for things. I just lost a job where I was doing this all the time and I should have known better.

Until I get a job, I will work on a different project every week, with the goal of having something as close to finished as possible. For the first week: a smart pixel art brush. The idea is to have a really small neural network that can run in real time.

This is a narrative experience and the first thing I've ever made for SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis. I didn't know if what I wanted to do was technically possible or within my means.

A procedural 4D worm-like creature, passing through our slice of space. It's for the sci-fi flight sim project. #gamedev #raymarch #shader

Restoring old family photos with AI isn’t a one-click trick. It’s a creative process shaped by memory, authorship, and a lot of trial and error.
Here’s how I’m using AI (ethically) to bring the past back to life:

You got my attention with Smiley. Wouldn't that be an amazing game though? The closest we got to information/detective kind of gameplay are games like Obra Dinn and outer wilds, I think.

Diego Flôor @diegzumillo.bsky.social · Aug 9

There's something really funny about guns in this context.

I have no idea what I'm looking at but I'm captivated.

"Plant a tree, have a son, write a book" should be updated for solo game devs. "Try to make game". That's it, that's the whole list. Good fucking luck!

Ah! I uploaded it as image. that's why it wasn't playing.

Diego Flôor @diegzumillo.bsky.social · Jul 23

aw thank you! :)

Diego Flôor @diegzumillo.bsky.social · Jul 23

Is my gif not playing just here?

Diego Flôor @diegzumillo.bsky.social · Jul 23

There is an annoying lack of 3d physics libraries in plain C. So I decided to make one myself in my spare time. I'll be releasing this as a single header as soon as I iron out some details. It only does spheres and boxes. #gamedev

I have been saying this to my wife, who is a teacher. Every student will use AI for their home assignments. Don't try to fight it, embrace it. You can make the assignment harder, you can ask for a transcript too. Something along those lines.

Added a few different types of mines. The jumping ones are definitely the most fun.

It's a very "dad game"! You control in first person a pilot who pilots a ship. You can move inside and outside the ship, arrange cargo, fly in an alien planet, avoid monsters in the fog, that sort of thing. And it's a flight simulator. Controls, aerodynamics and such.

Diego Flôor @diegzumillo.bsky.social · Jul 16

I recently resumed working on my sci-fi flight simulator. This time I'm using #raylib to get a hybrid of ray marched SDF and polygonal rendering. #gamedev #flightsim
